I just wanted to find a way to express my displeasure with the way the beginner lessons are set up on this site. I don't understand why they couldn't find some rock songs with simple chord progressions - I'm certain there are plenty - instead of having to learn to play a bunch of folk-music type songs that I don't like and don't want to learn. It seems to me that it would much more condusive to learning if I were learning to play songs I actually want to play instead of whatever the instructor wrote. I'm not knocking anyone's skills or abilities, it just isn't what I want to hear or play. I was doing pretty well initially - I learned most of the major and minor chords and then we got the part where we have play these instructor-written songs and I lost interest. Had I known then what I know now I would never have payed for a year in advance, now I'm just trying to maintain until my subscription runs out so I go elsewhere. When I decided to finally attempt to learn the guitar I did some research and came with what I thought were the three best websites for instruction and somehow chose this one, which I now regret. I am seriously disappointed with this choice, wishing I had went with another option.
